About
Jun Hee Lee is a pioneering thoracic surgeon whose research sits at the cutting edge of minimally invasive and robotic-assisted thoracic surgery. His work has focused particularly on advancing single-port robotic surgical techniques for complex thoracic procedures, including major pulmonary resections, thymectomy, and esophagectomy. Lee has been instrumental in demonstrating the clinical feasibility of the da Vinci Single-Port System for procedures previously considered too technically demanding for such approaches, effectively expanding the boundaries of what single-port surgery can achieve. Among his most notable contributions is his pioneering application of subcostal and subxiphoid single-port robotic approaches, offering patients reduced postoperative pain and faster recovery compared to conventional open or multi-port techniques. His 2024 study on single-port robotic subcostal major pulmonary resection has already garnered 19 citations, reflecting rapid uptake of his findings within the surgical community. His multi-institutional, propensity score-matched study on subxiphoid robotic thymectomy further established the comparative advantages of this novel approach. With cumulative citations across his recent publications exceeding 58, Lee's work is shaping a new era of robotic thoracic surgery and providing a vital evidence base for surgeons navigating this steep-learning-curve technology.
